KOTA TINGGI: The search and rescue operation to find the teenager who went missing after swimming at Pantai Batu Layar here has been postponed.
“The body of the first victim, another teenager, had been found by members of the public and had been pronounced dead by a medical team.
“However, the operation to look for the second missing person was halted at 7.30pm today due to the dark weather and strong ocean current,” he said in a statement.
